Isn't apt-proxy suited for this?

Depends ;-) For example on the number of packages
you frequently install/update etc. A somewhat complete
package mirror may cause more traffic than you save.
So maybe have a look at
apt-proxy - Debian archive proxy and partial mirror builder
After setting up point your machine's /etc/apt/sources to 
this mirror/apt-proxy.

Cheers, Marcel

Others have suggested apt-proxy, I second this recommendation.

Also, if you have packages which you compile locally, check out 
debarchiver, it arranges your packages in a directory structure 
suitable for apt.  Set up dupload to upload packages to it, and anon 
ftp to access it.

Cheers
Corey
